One of its primary training unit is the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) for tertiary level students, the Basic Citizen's Military Course (BCMC) for civilians who didn't take the NROTC in their tertiary studies, and the Military Orientation Course (MOC) for private or public organizations of utility service providers who signified and volunteered to be part of the Philippine Navy Affiliated Reserve Units (PNARU).
